Weidmüller 995015 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 995015 is a 17-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting through PCB holes. This component features screw-clamping wire termination and is rated for 15A at 300V, supporting wire gauges from 12-26 AWG. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-1986711-7 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Position Count: Both parts provide 17 positions
Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
Mating Orientation: Both are configured for horizontal mounting with board
Mounting Method: Both use through-hole PCB mounting
Electrical Ratings: The substitute meets or exceeds voltage (300V) and current (16A vs. 15A) requirements
Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute accepts 12-30 AWG, encompassing the original 12-26 AWG range
Interlocking Feature: Both incorporate side interlocking for mechanical stability

Substitution is valid where the differences in wire termination method (screw-clamping versus screwless push-button), operating temperature range, and housing color do not conflict with application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 995015. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

Active Product Status: The substitute is currently manufactured and supported, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
RoHS Compliance: The substitute meets RoHS requirements, providing regulatory advantage for new designs and systems requiring environmental compliance
Enhanced Electrical Performance: The 16A current rating exceeds the original 15A specification, providing operational margin
Extended Temperature Range: Operating range of -40°C to 110°C surpasses the original -20°C to 100°C, accommodating broader environmental conditions
Expanded Wire Gauge Acceptance: Support for 12-30 AWG wire encompasses the original specification and provides flexibility for larger conductor sizes

The primary design consideration is the transition from screw-based termination to screwless push-button clamping. This change requires verification that the application's assembly and maintenance procedures are compatible with the alternative termination method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 be used as a direct replacement for the Weidmüller 995015 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the application does not depend on screw-based wire termination. The 17-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration and through-hole mounting are identical. PCB footprints are compatible. Verify that assembly procedures can accommodate push-button clamping termination.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The wire termination method differs. The Weidmüller 995015 uses screw-clamping with tension sleeve, while the TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 uses screwless push-button clamping. Both methods provide secure electrical connection; the choice depends on assembly and maintenance workflow requirements.

Q: Are the electrical ratings compatible?

A: Yes. The substitute's 16A and 300V ratings meet or exceed the original 15A and 300V specifications. Wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG) encompasses the original range (12-26 AWG).

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: The substitute's extended range (-40°C to 110°C versus -20°C to 100°C) is advantageous and does not restrict substitution. Applications operating within the original temperature window remain fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance on the substitute?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the substitute meets environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electrical and electronic equipment. This is relevant for new designs and systems requiring regulatory compliance. The original part's "Not applicable" status reflects its obsolete classification.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The Weidmüller 995015 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the TE Connectivity 1-1986711-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging meets procurement and handling requirements for your application.
